Good satire comes from anger. It comes from a sense of injustice that there are wrongs in the world that need to be fixed. And what better place to get that well of venom and outrage boiling than a newsroom because you're on the front lines.

Take the high road. No matter how much strife and consternation frustration and anger you might be confronted with - don't go to that level.

I'm not a screamer. I'm confrontational but I don't think that translates into anger.

I remember the first time I felt that I was sharing the stage with someone spectacular was dancing with Beyonce. It was the dancers the band Beyonce and me in front of thousands of people. That was sick. It was pretty amazing that I got to travel the world with someone like her.

Don't count out other amazing programming like Frontline. You will still find more hours of in-depth news programming investigative journalism and analysis on PBS than on any other outlet.

Some of my foster families used to send me to the movies to get me out of the house and there I'd sit all day and way into the night.

I started writing when I had three kids under the age of 4. I used to write every ten minutes I got to sit in front of a computer. Now when I have more time I function the same way: if it's writing time I write.
